T.I.M.E. BOOK REVIEW
Occasionally, I rate a book as "♡ DNF ♡" representing a book that I “did not finish.” Meaning the book was not a perfect match for me at this time and I am optimistically re-shelving the book for another read at a later date.
Just like a good bottle of wine, sometimes a good book needs a little aging for my reading palate... Or needs to be paired with the right season in my life.
And I don't want an author's hard work in creating their book to be diminished by simply the "luck of the draw" in when I am picking up this book to read... and where I am in my head, heart and soul in being able to connect with the book at that time.
All of my book reviews are focused on positive feedback. It is my opinion that every book is the perfect match for the right reader. When I am not that person, I opt to remain supportive of the author’s work and intention to connect with their book’s ideal audience. This is how we roll here at This Is My Everybody!
And in making this decision, it is my sincere wish to encourage that reader who is a perfect match for the book to still consider adding this book to their reading list.
Circling back to that good bottle of wine once again... Though my preferred glass of wine might be red for today... I can promise you that it could easily change to white tomorrow!
Always wishing you a happy reading journey...
And always with my full support and gratitude for every author's work... Thank you for making our world a literary world filled with great adventures... ✨😎✨

PUBLISHER BOOK SYNOPSIS:
The holidays were never her thing, until she accidentally conjures the Holiday Spirit...before her very eyes.
Bettie Hughes once knew the comfort of luxury, flaunting a collection of designer purses and an enviable dream home in Hawaii. That was before she lost all her money. Long obsessed with her public image, Bettie boasts an extravagant lifestyle on social media. But the reality is Bettie is broke and squatting in Colorado, and her family has no idea.
Christmas, with its pressure to meet familial expectations, is looming when Bettie plays a vinyl record of “All I Want for Christmas Is You” backward and accidentally conjures up Hall, the Holiday Spirit, in the form of a charming and handsome (if offbeat) man. Once the shock wears off, Bettie knows she’s stumbled upon the greatest gift: a chance to make all her holiday wishes come true, plus a ready-made fiancé.
But as some of Bettie’s wishes lose their charm, she finds herself thrown off-kilter by Hall’s sweet nature. Suddenly, grumpy Bettie is finding her heart merry and light. But the happier she gets, the shorter Hall’s time on earth grows. Can Bettie channel the Christmas spirit and learn to live with goodwill toward all men? Or will her selfish ways return as soon as the holidays are over?
